This modern-minded cutaway acoustic makes quick work of Martin formulas both old and new with a knockout lineup of specs and styles to make your head spin. An exceptional companion for the stage, studio, couch, or anywhere else, this Road Series has plenty of gas in the tank.

Martin's Road Series is comprised of a celebrated lineup of fine acoustic guitars. Pairing the forward-thinking design choices of modern Martins with the great acoustic tones of Martin's past, the Road Series GPC-13E kicks off in style for something to really talk about. This Road Series starts with a Martin GP-14 Fret cutaway body brought together by a spruce top and koa fine veneer back and sides. A proud tonal profile projects from this bold Martin body with a sleek gloss finish and 5/16" scalloped spruce braces lined up in an X-Brace pattern compounding volume and complexity.

For the fretting hand, this Road Series swings in with a select hardwood neck in a Martin Performing Artist profile with a High Performance taper. Slipping smoothly from lower to higher registers, this neck is easily picked up, but not so easily put down. This guitar's ebony fingerboard is punctuated with twenty Martin frets and offers a comfortable feel on the fingers with faux Mother of Pearl Diamonds & Squares Long inlays for a great look.

Kicking up this Road Series, this GP-14 Fret hits us with a number of fine hardware specs and appointments to elevate the whole experience. The Road Series GPC-13E Modern punches in with a white Corian nut and ratio nickel open gear tuning machines toward the headstock to make easy work of stringing and intonation. This experience gets built out with an ebony sloped Modern Belly bridge fit with a white TUSQ saddle for a study base and a solid transfer of motion. These elements keep the playing experience firm and fluid while aesthetic appointments like a single-ring faux abalone rosette, a multi-stripe top inlay, and white binding all tie this model's looks together. For translating its sweet sounds to the stage, this Road Series comes equipped with onboard Martin E1 electronics. This Martin Road Series GPC-13E travels with an included Martin softshell case.

For any and every player inching for the wide open road, this Martin is raring to go in every way.
